Betrayal

Perhaps we all have felt a brief instance of loss, of listlessness, of momentary despair as something we once considered solid dropped out from under us. As teens, we are all too prone to this scenario. This is merely a manifestation of my initial reactions to such sentiments.

You were entrusted with something as precious as life, Something carved from my very soul, An irreplaceable charge, A bond stronger than love was forged between us.

Yet you break it, defacing This sacred pact.

I gave you my mind, my knowledge, And you gave me ignorance.

You were trusted to lead me across chasms, Yet you burn my bridges.

You were charged with opening my eyes to the wonders of the heavens, Yet you keep the secrets of the sky for yourself.
